Earthjustice attorneys represent public-interest clients concerned about threats to the environment and hold accountable those who jeopardize the health of our planet. Thanks to the generosity of our many supporters, we provide expert legal support free of charge to groups large and small. Several of the most important legal battles for this year can be found at the 2014 Legal Docket.
Our complete legal docket includes about 300 active cases. Learn about some of our recent and historical cases:
|East Coast River Herring and Shad Protection Efforts Challenged
|Earthjustice is representing commercial and recreational fishermen in challenging two government agencies for failing to protect river herring and shad from being caught and killed by Atlantic industrial fisheries. The lawsuit challenges the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission for failure to conserve and manage river herring and shad populations under the Magnuson-Stevens Act and the Atlantic Coast Fisheries Cooperative Management Act, which were put in place to prevent overfishing, rebuild depleted stocks, establish annual catch limits and accountability measures and minimize bycatch.
|Texas Coal Plant Sued Over Air Pollution Violations
|Earthjustice is representing the Sierra Club in its lawsuit against Texas coal plant owner, Luminant Generation Company, for repeatedly violating federal air pollution regulations. The company's Martin Lake plant, one of the dirtiest coal plants in the nation, has accumulated more than 50,000 air pollution violations in the last five years.
|Alaska Cruise Ship Wastewater Pollution Permit Challenge
|Earthjustice is representing the Campaign to Safeguard America's Waters, a project of Earth Island Institute, and Friends of the Earth in challenging the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's decision to grant the permit that authorizes cruise ships to continue dumping pollutants without meeting the standards required by law.
|EPA's Global Warming Endangerment Finding Challenged
|Earthjustice is representing Environmental Defense Fund as an intervener against industry court challenges to the U.S. EPA's scientific finding that global warming pollution endangers public health in America.
|Chlorpyrifos Pesticide Challenge
|Earthjustice is representing Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA) in challenging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's failure to make a decision on the banning of the pesticide chlorpyrifos. The toxic chemical is widely used in orchards and agricultural fields across the country. Exposure to the chemical has been linked to both short and long term health effects, such as headaches, seizures, low birth weights and developmental delays.
|Ingredients in Gulf Oil Dispersants Challenged
|Earthjustice is representing the Gulf Restoration Network and the Florida Wildlife Federation in challenging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for its failure to reveal the secret ingredients in chemical dispersants that the agency has deemed eligible for use in oil spills.
|Air Quality in the San Joaquin Valley
Air quality planning in the San Joaquin Valley is broken. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA sets national standards and the state and local air districts are responsible for developing the plans for how areas that fail to meet those national standards will control pollution sources in order to come into compliance. For the last 10 years Earthjustice has been putting the pressure on EPA and the local air district to adopt meaningful plans and enforce the deadlines for agency action under the Clean Air Act.
|Global Warming and Ships, Aircraft, and Non-Road Vehicles & Engines
Aircraft, ship and non-road vehicles and engines are major contributors to global warming pollution. Together they are responsible for 24 percent of U.S. mobile source greenhouse gas emissions, and emit approximately 290,000 tons of soot every year. Pollution from these sources is projected to grow rapidly over coming decades. Annual U.S. shipping emissions alone are equivalent to from 130 million to 195 million cars and are on track to triple over the next 20 years.
|Na Wai Eha Treatment Plant Environmental Impact Statement
|Earthjustice filed a lawsuit on behalf of Maui community groups Hui o Na Wai 'Eha and Maui Tomorrow Foundation challenging plans by Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (A&B) to build a water treatment plant that would take contested stream flows from several Na Wai 'Eha streams, "the Four Great Waters" of Waihe'e River and Waiehu, 'Iao, and Waikapu streams on Maui, so that A&B can supply the treated water to its development projects and also sell it to Maui County. The proposal would redirect nine million gallons per day of diverted stream flows that A&B has claimed is essential for its Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar (HC&S) plantation and instead use it for A&B's land and water development plans.
|J.K. Smith Power Plant Challenge
The East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC) is proposing to build a new 278-MW coal-fired power plant, the new J.K. Smith Unit 1, at the J.K. Smith Power Station in Clark County, Kentucky. If constructed, the plant's carbon dioxide emissions will contribute to global warming, and emissions of other pollutants, ranging from particulate matter to mercury, will harm human health and the environment in myriad ways.
|BP Oil Spill Plan Challenge
Earthjustice is representing the Gulf Restoration Network and the Sierra Club in challenging the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) arbitrary approval of BP's oil spill clean-up plan. In its spill plan, BP claimed it could contain any possible spill by vacuuming up over 20 million gallons of oil per day. BP's actual recovery rate since the Deepwater Horizon explosion has turned out to be about two percent of that.
|Offshore Oil Drilling in the Gulf of Mexico
Earthjustice is representing the Gulf Restoration Network and the Sierra Club in challenging the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) for its policy put forth in a notice to the oil companies drilling in the Gulf of Mexico; in its notice, MMS exempts those companies from being required to disclose in their exploratory plans a blow-out scenario, and a worst case scenario as required by law. The blow-out scenario and worst case scenario, if included, would disclose scenarios for a potential blow-out, including the maximum volume of oil that would be released, the maximum flow-rate of the oil, the maximum duration of the blow-out, and the estimated time it would take to contain such an oil spill.
|Pacific Fisher: Warranted, But Precluded
A close relative of the mink, otter, and wolverine, the Pacific fisher (Martes pennanti) once roamed the old-growth forests of the West Coast from Washington state to the Sierra Nevada. As with many other predatory species, however, fisher populations have declined dramatically in recent decades due to trapping, logging, farming, and fire. Survey information indicates that the fisher is likely extirpated from all of Washington, most of Oregon, and at least half of its range in the Sierra Nevada. The California population has been divided into two remnant populations, one in the northwestern part of the state and another small group in the southern Sierra Nevada believed to contain fewer than 500 individuals.
|Tongass Roadless Exemption
|In 2009, a diverse coalition of Alaska Native, tourism industry, and environmental organizations challenged the Bush administration's 2003 rule "temporarily" exempting southeast Alaska's Tongass National Forest—the nation's largest and wildest—from the landmark 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule.
|Salmon-Challis National Forest Travel Management Plan
The Salmon-Challis National Forest (SCNF) is located in east-central Idaho and covers some 4.3 million acres. It includes within its boundaries the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness Area, the largest wilderness area in the continental United States, as well as the Wild & Scenic Salmon River and the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Even outside these protected areas, over a million acres of the Forest is wild, undeveloped, and roadless. Consequently, the SCNF is home to miles of pristine salmon streams and abundant and diverse wildlife. It is a unique and irreplaceable refuge for many species and for people who seek the untrammeled solitude of wild places.

For small organizations, simplifying management can mean new opportunities
One of the hallmarks of club participation is generally high turnover in task management. Someone might only serve as treasurer for a year, while a secretary might need to move out of state midway through his or her tenure. Even if members participate over the course of many years, their involvement might grow and diminish, based on the amount of time they're able to give. This can lead to record-keeping chaos, as files sometimes don't get transferred and information gets lost in transition. Tracking items down and trying to keep everything up to date then demands even more time from volunteers and can cause more than a few headaches.
For those who oversee clubs and manage groups of volunteers, the goal is to make each task as easy as possible for everyone. Using a resource like membership software from Wild Apricot can centralize records, documents and everything necessary to membership management.
The value proposition of low-cost membership software is an added bonus for clubs of all sizes. While some small organizations with limited budgets might feel it's too challenging to add a new expenditure, the hours of work saved on and the simplification of the membership sign-up process can add up to real savings. And in some cases, membership software can even help you bring your club into the digital age.
Clubs and organizations today have to meet the updated demands of members and other users, so keeping up with the pace of technology is key. It's no longer an option to skip having a website - providing users with an online resource is a necessity. Membership-oriented website-building software gives clubs a simple solution that cuts out high-priced site development while providing the Web experience that is in demand.
The advantages of keeping your club organized are almost innumerable, but foremost among them is the amount of time that can be freed up. When you no longer need to check with three different people to find a mailing address or a record from years ago, there's more time that can be devoted to new projects and ideas that can build the strength - and perhaps the income - of your organization.
Passion is at the heart of every small club and organization. People volunteer their time, effort - and in many cases, their money - to support something they believe in. Shifting the focus of your efforts away from administrative tasks and toward fully supporting your cause will make it easier to build enthusiasm and growth for the future.

Can You Dance Like a T. Rex?
The Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History is adding a T. rex to their collections, and to celebrate it, they've had Ray Troll and The Ratfish Wranglers record a song that they're calling "National Rex." What they need is a dance that goes along with it - a T. Rex Two-Step, if you will. »

NCCC, Region 7 schools to start College Academy in health careers
WINSTED -- Northwestern Connecticut Community College next spring will extend its partnership with Region 7 schools to start a College Academy in health careers.
The idea for the academy came from a discussion between NCCC and Region 7 administrators about how to increase the number of students in the high school partnership program between the community college and the regional school district, college spokesman Grantley S. Adams said.

A Tarboro native is using writing as a tool to wage war on childhood obesity..
Jean Millard, a 1970 graduate of Tarboro High School, is writing her first children's book addressing the issue of obesity.
"If parents want to have a positive impact on their children's health, they absolutely must change their mindset when it comes to shopping and preparing food for their families," said Millard, who now lives in Johnston County. "It costs a lot of money today to eat decent, but instead of buying the junk food, we need to learn to make healthier choices."
Millard is writing the book "The Amazing Mis Adventures of Mike Mega with Dr. U.B. Strong or My Taste Buds Almost Killed Me and Other Confessions," under her pen name, "Gray-Haired Granny." (Millard started graying at an early age and when she became a grandmother, she began calling herself "Gray-Haired Granny.")
The book chronicles 8-year-old Mike Mega's journey from entering an essay contest "How To Be Healthy and Happy Through Better Eating" to his personal transformation resulting from following healthy living tips from Dr. U.B. Strong. It is written for children aged 8 to 12, but the message is for parents, too.
"I think when the parent sees that the child wants to make some changes, then the parent comes on board," Millard said. The president of StoryTime Club, Inc. decided to focus her writing skills on the topic of childhood obesity after reading a report from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Trust for America's Health entitled, "'F' as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2012." The report predicts that adult obesity rates could exceed 60 percent in 13 states by 2030.
"That's why I'm so passionate. If we're going to reverse this trend for our youth, we must teach children and their parents simple, easy to incorporate strategies for a healthier lifestyle. These dire predictions about obesity don't have to be their reality," she noted.
Edgecombe County statistics pinpoint the need to address obesity, as well. According to the 2011 State of the County Health Report, 37 percent of the county's adults are obese, compared with the statewide rate of 29 percent.
In an effort to combat childhood obesity, Edgecombe County Public Schools are offering healthy food options to students this year, in accordance with new federal nutrition standards. Whole grains, fat-free or 1 percent milk, and a variety of vegetables are some of the foods that await students in the school cafeteria.
"We can all make a difference when we work together," Millard said. She believes her children's book will make an impact not only in Tarboro but also on a global level, because childhood obesity is "irrespective of state, national or global borders."
Millard is passionate about social issues; she has written and published a book on bringing
awareness to bullying: "Charlie the Dimpled Dragon." She received the honor of 2011 Woman of the Year by the Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce for her work on bullying.
Millard asks for support for her children's book project at HYPERLINK "http://www.Indiegogo.com/help-fight-childhood-obesity" www.Indiegogo.com/help-fight-childhood-obesity, an international web-based funding platform for grassroots projects.

Improving the MavenDependency PerformanceAndrew Rubinger Apr 20, 2012 11:43 AM
The following observation was kicked off by Vineet Reynolds:
I've spent sometime profiling a "slow" test of mine in a project that uses Seam Security. The deployment is created using the Maven Dependency resolver (2.0.0.-alpha-1), and it looks like there is scope for improving the performance of this resolver, given that creation of the deployment takes up roughly 20 seconds (wall clock time) in a test that lasts ~40 seconds.
The hotspot appears to be ClasspathWorkspaceReader which is not only invoked multiple times (1779 in my test), but also features heavily in the "own time" stats (216s spent in this method out of 217s contributed to overall execution time by this method; I've sampled every method invocation, so the profiled times are slower). The DefaultArtifact constructor is also invoked 1.4k+ times, but doesn't contribute heavily to the consumed time (800ms or so). I haven't got any more useful information regarding the cause, since the profiler hasn't picked up anything, but I suspect it is due to the method-local DocumentBuilderFactory and XPathFactory instances being created. But, I think you would know Aether better than me, so I'd like to have your inputs in improving this class before I submit a pull request.
By the way, I did manage to improve the performance a bit - the XPath query evaluation did take some time, but then the WorkspaceReader is being hit 1.7k times, so it didn't help much - wall clock time for the tests reduced from 38s to 34s. I logged the info about the artifacts being requested, and it turns out that there are duplicates among the parameters, so we need some form of a cache to improve performance. Maybe not a cache that we should manage, but one of Aether - which is why I think I need more feedback here.
1. Re: Improving the MavenDependency PerformanceVineet Reynolds Apr 20, 2012 1:33 PM (in response to Andrew Rubinger)
I wasn't sure if this came out correctly in the above observations - using a class-member DocumentBuildFactory and XPathFactory, and compiled XPath expressions did not improve performance as much as I liked. This is more so because XPath expression evaluation is expensive, and when repeated across large number of invocations, the use of a compiled expression does not help a lot. Now, given that most of these lookups are duplicates, we need to find some way to cache the results, or we need to prevent the invocations with the duplicate artifacts.
Also, if we would solve this with a cache, we need to ensure that the cache would be re-used across tests, since it would help immensely when multiple @Deployments in different tests use the same Maven artifact.

Another possible optimalization that came to mind is, in the case where you're not resolving trasitive deps:
We could start by by-passing the Aether lib all togather(not even initialize anything from it) and do a simple check if the artifact exist in the local repo, if it does simply return that File. If it doesn't exist, or you're resolving transitive deps, fall back to use Aether.
In theory we would only need to run Aether the first time you depend on a non existing Artifact to have it download, all the following runs on the same machine will simple just resolve GAV to File via Path concats.
To speed up transitive deps, we could cache the resolved GAVs for a specific Artifact combination. No cache hit, fall back to Aether, cache hit found, do a simple GAV to File resolve.

This is good point - and good use case for arquillian core - I use caching in form of serialized objects in Drone reusable webdriver sessions - when it would be part of core, all projects can cache through unified interface.

I've performed a few optimizations of ClasspathWorkspaceReader.
- Already mentioned reuse of DocumentBuilder and XPath
- XPath query compilation to XPathExpression
- Retrieved from classpath artifacts caching
- Reduction of number of disk operations (every classpath entry for every retrieved artifact performed disk isFile/isDirectory operations + same thing for found pom files)
I've performed tests basing on forge core\javaee-impl\pom.xml (136 retrieved dependencies). Before changes on my PC running
took about 32s. After mentioned optimizations ~1,5s.

High Quality product-very nice appearance. Lays dead flat.
Our family has remodeled an existing house and added a full gym in the lower level. I was stunned by the costs our contractor quoted for the floor, so I searched on-line and found Rubber Flooring Inc.
This product is exactly what I desired and the price was very fair and agreeable. The website was clear, the order process was easy, delivery was exactly as promised and installation was simple. The only thing I didn't anticipate was the door edge had a 5/8 inch step up.....I came back to your website and ordered the door edge to complete the project. The end result is a finished, professional, exercise room. It has definitely enhanced the total value of our home.
Needed 36' for a 12x12 room. I thought I was getting 2x25' rolls and was surprised when it arrived as 1x50' roll. As most have said in their reviews, it was heavy. Arrived quickly and in excellent shape. I was expecting it to stay curled up for a while after installation, because it had been rolled up tightly for transport, but when I rolled it out to cut it, it all laid flat. There was no real problem cutting it, but make sure you start with a very sharp box cutter and take your time. The ends were nice and straight, and after measuring twice before cutting I had no problem. It took about 4-5 passes to cut all the way through. One item of note, make sure the (side) edge is straight before making the final measurement/cut, a curve in the edge will throw things off. When I rolled it out in the room it laid very flat and no double sided tape was necessary. You can't really see the seams unless you are looking for them. Just take your time making the cuts, especially if you have odd angles. It took me about 3 hours to install doing it alone. When I purchased this I was not sure if it would be shock absorbent enough for my workouts (insanity/Focus T25, etc) but was surprised at how well it worked with my 59 year old knees. I had enough roll left over to put in front of my work bench in my garage. It is great for that too. I couldn't be happier with the product, shipping and service.
We ordered 3 custom cut rolls to put in a workout room in our basement. The rolls are quite heavy, but my husband and I managed to move them together. Maneuvering them was the most difficult part due to their weight, but once we got a system down, it was fairly easy to cut them and put them in place. It took us about 4 hours to do an 11.5x12.5' room. I would definitely recommend getting a large T-square and heavy-duty utility knife with extra blades. Now that it's installed, we love it. It looks great and is very comfortable under foot during a workout.
Love my gym floor!
I am in the process of remodeling my basement and wanted to install a home gym. I searched flooring stores and on line and found Rubber Flooring. I ordered a few free samples and was able to find the exact height of the rubber flooring I needed. I went with the 1/2" rolled flooring and it is perfect. It butted up perfectly to my ceramic floor and it looks amazing. My room size is 16' x 12'x 2'. I ordered 4 rolls because I was not sure how exact the width of the 4 foot rolls were and it turns out I only needed 3 rolls. (The width of each roll is just slightly wider than 4 feet.) The rolls are much heavier than I thought they would be - even though I had read prior reviews indicating the weight. The flooring was laid down without any glue or fasteners and stays perfectly in place. This is a great product and wipes up easily. You definitely need more than 1 person to install as they rolls are heavy and cumbersome to work with, but the finished product is well worth it. I am very happy with the purchase and the look and would definitely purchase this product again if I needed it. The only downside to this entire experience was the delay in receiving the product. It was promptly shipped out, but sat at a transfer facility a few miles from my house waiting to be loaded onto a local delivery truck. It took over 2 weeks to reach my home, so keep that in mind if you are in a hurry to receive this product.
Just put down five 16' long 1/2" thick rolls in my basement for a home gym and it looks great - like a commercial gym really. I love it.
Be warned though, each roll weighed close to 200 lbs, so they are tough to work with. At 1/2" thick they are tough to cut as well. I used a utility knife, but it takes maybe half a dozen passes to cut all the way through the roll.
My basement is unfinished and one wall of my gym is still open, so I went ahead and glued it down. If your space is wall to wall you could probably get by without the adhesive. It's heavy, and rubber - so not like it is really going to be sliding all over the place.
I'm very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a high quality home gym.
Good stuff but be ready, it is heavy, 17 ft roll about 200 pounds. Take your time, it will all turn out well. I did not glue down or tape, didn't need to it fit tight wall to wall. Really have to look to see the seams.
I converted one of my rooms in to a gym, the room is 16ft X 13ft,
the rolls of flooring were very heavy, I went with the 1/2", but it was rather easy to install. it has been almost 1 year that me and my wife have been using the room, the flooring has worked out great.
Very pleased with the quality of the product. Ordered 3 15 foot rolls. One appeared to be the end of a roll and was over 18 feet but had a little wave along the edges. Used carpet tape on that roll and it laid down nicely. The other two laid down nicely without any tape. The edges were nice and square and butted up against each other perfectly.
I did a lot of internet research on rubber flooring and decided to go with the 1/2" Mega rubber rolls. The shipping was fast. The installation was easy with a tape measure, T-square and a razor knife. The rubber smell was not too bad and had dissipated after about a week. I have weight equipment on top of this rubber flooring and it doesn't even put a dent in it. The seams blend in when the rolls are placed side by side.
I installed the half inch rubber matting in a workout room for a customer of mine. He loved the product so much that he had it installed in his office. No more 100 dollar 4 x 6 plastic floor mats that end up cracking and breaking apart. I removed the carpet and padding and then laid the matting. After the mats were in place I re-tacked the carpet giving a clean, finished edge. In the long run, he will save money because every year he would purchase a new plastic floor mat at 100 dollars each. This rubber is so tough that I would be willing to bet that he will never need to buy another plastic mat for his office ever again. Great product. Easy to install.
I purchased 5 rolls of 1/2" material ranging from 12-16' and installed it myself. My basement had carpet and padding glued to the slab that needed to be scraped off as well as tack strip that ran the circumference of the room. I also removed all of the base moulding and notched the door casing so that the new rubber flooring would look its best. The added prep work increased the labor hours substantially but was well worth it. I used double sided tape at all edges of the rubber and was rewarded with tight seams and flat flooring. The only negative I can think of is that Rubber Flooring Inc could give the consumer at least one end that is square and straight so that we don't have to cut BOTH ends to make a piece fit. It can't be that tough for the manufacturer to take a little extra time to do it right instead of giving us two ends that look like they were cut by a drunk in the dark.
The flooring was as I read from other reviewers. The edges are very straight and meet up together great perfectly. I installed the flooring myself and only used the double sided tape. Make sure to start with a straight edge as the ends are not cut straight but the material cuts very easily with a sharp box cutter. The material is very good quality and no smell at all to speak of. This was the first time I put down a rolled flooring and I didn't find it difficult but I took my time and it came out great. Love the product and if I have to do it again I would use this company.
Everything about the product was easy from:ordering it, picking it up and installation. I would definitely use this product again.
We were thoroughly pleased through the whole process, from ordering, to delivery, installation, and now use. We installed a 12' x 12' section for a home gym directly on our basement concrete floor (sealed first with an acrylic sealer). The seams are virtually invisible. I had planned on installing quarter round on the perimeter to hide the floor-base molding junction, but the product fit so well that was not necessary. I also did not need the double stick carpet tape I ordered with the rolls- they lay perfectly flat without it. Installation took less than 2 hours, and included 3 lateral cuts and one full length cut with a standard utility knife. The only challenge through the entire process was the weight of the rolls; I needed the assistance of a neighbor and a stout dolly to move the rolls into our basement. A 5 star rating without any reservations.
Excellent quality, you will not regret your purchase............!
The rubber flooring was very easy to install (no two sided tape necessary) and looks great. The surface is perfect for a home gym.
After scouring the internet extensively for gym flooring options, I decided on rubberflooringinc, as its website had the most informative detail on flooring, and the quality of the reviews seemed the most consistent and highest. Moreover, it seemed that rubberflooringinc was the only one to distinguish among the different types of recycled rubber, which gave me confidence that it used the highest quality recycled rubber available. This was important, since the better the rubber, the less the smell. There was one website that offered virgin rubber mats, but their cost was prohibitively expensive. The phone representative at rubberflooringinc that helped me with sizing, and placed my order was courteous and knowledgable.
Nearly a week earlier than scheduled, the delivery driver called me to schedule a convenient time, and I asked if he could place the mats on my driveway, as opposed to the sidewalk. My 5 rolls of 4' x 11' mega rubber arrived perfectly, strapped together, piled on top of a wood pallet, all 700 something pounds, placed nicely on my driveway/walkway, well in from the street. I understood the rolls were heavy, but when you look at them, you just can't imagine how heavy they really are until you try to lift them.
The rolls were all cut slightly larger than my 4 x 11' spec, which I guess is good, but I measured my 11' x 20' room exactly, and didn't want to cut them very much. I laid the first 4 rolls down easily, and the side edges were all machine cut and perfect, so they lined up seamlessly, which was very cool. But they all were about 2 ft longer than my specs, and I realized it is not easy to cut the ends across, since the roll is so thick, it doesn't fold into the corner/edge right angle, so you have to approximate the cutting point. They also can scrape your walls black if you are not careful about letting the excess length down gently when laying it down. In addition, be advised that each roll was about 1-2 inches wider than spec as well, which left one section that needed to be cut lengthwise.
You definitely need a straight edge and a solid cutter to make your cuts. The actual cutting is easy. For the lengthwise cut on the final roll (call it #5), I simply laid it down along the outer wall, with only an imperceptible space to account for any overlap, then I laid the excess width on top of mat #4 next to it. The mega roll is so heavy and thick, it lays pretty flat on the other mat, so I placed the straight edge down on mat #4 right up against the overlapped edge of mat #5, and cut a straight line into mat #4 (the one underneath). I then removed the thin cut portion of mat #4, and pushed the edge of mat #5 down into the cut side of mat #4, and it fit almost perfectly. If anything, it will be a little too tight, so you can use the imperceptible space you left between mat #5 and the wall to level that out. It all should end up looking seamless as long as you made a straight cut.
The matting had an very minor rubbber smell, not unpleasant at all for a few days, and I am very sensitive to bad smells. I didn't really even "air it out", and at this point, a couple of weeks afterwards, there is almost no smell at all. The rubber feels great under foot, feels indestructible, with just the right amount of give and resilience for jumping activities. I cannot express how happy I am with both rubberflooringinc, the company, and the quality of my mega roll gym floor. If you are looking for the perfect gym flooring, there is no need to look any further. The only things you have to be prepared for, are the cutting, and the heavy weight of the rolls.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Samsung this week revealed a concept smartphone that can fold out into an almost tablet-sized device, and uses a new reflective display that changes colour like a chameleon.
Online publication All Things D reported that Samsung strategy chief, Young Sohn, demonstrated the concept smartphone at the start of the MobileBeat conference in San Francisco.
The phone has two side flaps that fold out to expand the phone's operable size.
The concept phone's reflective display can change its RGB color through the use of embedded photonic crystals. The color of the display represents different modes the phone can be in.
In a video shown at the MobileBeat conference, a disposable RFID chip in the form of a wearable patch is shown sending the vital health signs of a user to the new phone. The data can be forwarded to a physician.
The video states that an "electromagnetic wave generator and detector are integrated in the patch sensor."
Sohn said while only a small number of RFID wearable sensors are in use today, that number will skyrocket as the chips become part of clothing, glasses and other objects.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

As a company specializing in outsourced support, we keep track of ticket flow trends. A metric that often attracts special attention of web hosts is the volume of tickets generated in non-business-hours. A concern sometimes posted by new web hosts is the necessity of a full 24/7 hosting support. Is it really required? Can't the tickets wait till morning when the staff gets back to office?
The answer in short is, you DO need a 24/7 hosting support desk, and here is why.

After Hurricane Katrina, religious groups from around the country were instrumental in providing vital aid.
Religious meetings continue to play an important part in the ongoing recovery effort, with many organizations choosing to hold events in New Orleans.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Youth Gathering, a meeting of high-school-age students held every three years, is a good example. The ELCA announced this summer that New Orleans would be the site for the next meeting, in 2009.
With attendance of 36,000, the ELCA event requires infrastructure that the organization says only four or five cities have. New Orleans is one of them. The city previously hosted youth gatherings (in 1976 and 1997) and was in consideration for 2009 prior to Hurricane Katrina (2005).
According to the event's leadership: "After many meetings and discussions with city and convention officials, consulting with congregational leaders, and careful consideration, we faced the question, 'Why not New Orleans?' The question that followed was, 'How can we not go to New Orleans?'"
"While many in the country already may have forgotten or want the nation to forget the tragedy and move on, some of us recognize that a great human tragedy is still unfolding," says Heather L. Feltman, executive director for Lutheran Disaster Response and director for ELCA Domestic Disaster Response.
The 2009 gathering program will be different from prior gatherings. "Planning teams and staff are working with local congregations and organizations, young people, and the city to pay attention to what makes the city of New Orleans unique, as well the changes it is going through as it continues to recover after Hurricane Katrina. The focus will be on service and justice."
The 2009 program will involve community experiences and volunteer service. The experiences will be led and supervised by staff and volunteers in addition to the people representing local partner agencies such as Lutheran Disaster Response.
The goals for the volunteer service include offering safe community service and learning experiences through which young people will hear the life stories of local residents, moving deeper into community issues and needs, receiving and sharing the gospel, and serving with compassion and imagination.
Hotels Help Kids in Crisis — International chain Accor, which has 4,000 hotels in 90 countries, has worked with Plan, an international community development organization that focuses on children, since 2003. Started in France and England, the hotel program was set up so that customers and employees could sponsor individual children.
Today, more than 1,100 children are sponsored by Accor hotels, and Accor supports worldwide projects such as working with tsunami survivors in Indonesia, nutrition training in Zambia, building a school in Cambodia, and more.
In Thailand, the Pan Pacific Bangkok started a program 12 years ago that is still going strong. The hotel partnered with UNICEF to train at-risk high school girls in areas such as housekeeping, laundry, engineering, and food and beverage, as well as provide instruction in English and life skills such as computers, service etiquette, and personal finance. Upon completion, the young women are qualified to work in the city's best hotels; the program provides careers for the women and highly skilled workers for the hotels. Nearly two dozen hotels have joined in — in Bangkok and Manila — and the program has been expanded worldwide to help young people in Brazil, Poland, and Ethiopia.

I'm following the social media development threads closely on StackOverFlow and am noticing a fair amount of questions that I've needed to flag as off-topic belonging to webapps. Since Webapps is out of beta. Can we add it to the official flag off-topic list?
I believe Jeff has said that each site only gets up to 5 migration paths total, and that won't be changing. There are fewer migrations from SO to Web Apps than there are to SO's 5 current migration sites, so Web Apps won't be getting put in there.

Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War is for hardcore wargamers only. Casual wargamers, RTSers, strategy gamers in general, this game is most likely not for you. This is not an easy game, nor is this a forgiving game. This is not even an overly "fun" game, at least not by most gamers' reckoning. Raging Tiger is the embodiment of the "niche" wargame—those who enjoy excruciatingly detailed war simulations will find solid entertainment here, while everyone else will be wallowing in acronyms and statistical military minutiae.
The premise is quite simple: It's the year 2010, and after years of unease between North and South Korea, things have finally reached a boiling point. The ensuing war pits The Republic of Korea and US forces against the armies of Kim II. Each of the 14 included scenarios takes place along the DMZ of the Korean Peninsula on some incredibly detailed and well-researched maps. In fact, the entire game is amazingly, painstakingly researched. Pulling up the onscreen information on any given unit will produce pages of statistics. Shrapnel has a habit of producing games that feel like "spreadsheets with randomizers", and Raging Tiger is no different. This isn't a bad thing in and of itself, but it does limit the appeal of many of their games to a more specialized fan base.
Raging Tiger uses the same engine as Shrapnel's Armed Task Force, for those familiar with that title. A mission begins with a quick briefing of the current objectives, which is usually riddled with military acronyms. The manual was vital for me here, because although they clearly labeled each and every unit I'd be getting for a particular scenario, everything was so abbreviated that I had no idea if I was getting tanks, mortars, helicopters or engineers. After several hours of playing, I'm still not even close to knowing these units in enough detail to make me a competent player.
After briefing, players set up their units. Initial placements are suggested by the scenario briefing, and indeed the scenario plays out best if those suggestions are used. But, if the current setup is a bit too difficult, or too easy for that matter, units can be placed anywhere the player chooses. In fact, you could simply place all your units right at the end objective if you wished, but that really takes all the challenge out of things. Once all the units are in place, it's time to start the clock.
Raging Tiger is a real-time game, although it can be paused at any time to issue or change orders. Units can be commanded at the individual, platoon, or company level, giving players an option of control styles. For those wanting the feel of being a battlefield commander, company and platoon level control allows general orders to be given to the rather competent AI, which then does its best to comply. For those micromanagers in the crowd, the individual unit control level is more appropriate. Of course, juggling both is the best route to success.

Mother Pleads Not Guilty To Drug Charges
by Meagan Millage, Anchor/Reporter
January 23, 2013 10:08 AM
The mother of three children killed in a house fire on December 22nd plead not guilty to two counts of possession of a controlled substance Wednesday.
Thirty-four-year-old Rhiannon White was arrested on January 14th. A urine analysis from the emergency room showed White had both meth and ecstasy in her system the morning of the fire.
The house fire killed 17 year-old Michael Hensley, 12 year-old Savannah Coon and, 7 year-old Alivia Coon. White and her husband escaped the blaze through a second floor window.
White requested a court-appointed attorney and will be back in court for a preliminary hearing.

How we work
We are internationally recognised for the way in which we develop our recommendations, a rigorous process that is centred on using the best available evidence and includes the views of experts, patients and carers, and industry.
We do not decide on the topics for our guidance and appraisals. Instead, topics are referred to us by the Department of Health.
Topics are selected on the basis of a number of factors, including the burden of disease, the impact on resources, and whether there is inappropriate variation in practice across the country.
Our guidance is then created by independent and unbiased advisory committees.
Take our clinical guidelines for example, where we commission four external centres and one internal centre to produce them on our behalf, according to the topic area.
The National Clinical Guideline Centre is the largest of these centres; it was established in 2009 from a merger of 4 smaller guideline-producing centres specialising in acute care, chronic conditions, primary care, and nursing and supportive care.
The other three external centres that currently produce guidance are the National Collaborating Centre for Cancer, the National Collaborating Centre for Women´s and Children´s Health, and the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health.
Staying up-to-date
The world of health and medicine is a fast moving one, with thousands of research papers published every year. To keep pace with the changes, we make sure that our guidance is regularly reviewed to remain up-to-date and to take into account any new evidence that may influence our recommendations.
Open and transparent
We have an open and transparent consultation process throughout the development of our guidance and quality standards which allows individuals, patient groups, charities and industry to comment on our recommendations.
In cases where we have to reject the use of a drug on the grounds of cost, we encourage drug companies to submit a patient-access scheme. Patient access schemes are special ways pharmaceutical companies can propose to enable patients to gain access to high costs drugs. This can help lower the overall cost of a drug on the NHS.
Have your say
We value the input of patients, carers and the general public in the development of our guidance and other products. By involving the very people for whom the guidance will be relevant, we put the needs and preferences of patients and the public at the heart of our work.
In 2002 we established the Citizens Council, the UK's first advisory body made up entirely of members of the public from across the UK.
The Citizens Council has produced a range of reports on challenging issues facing NICE, including the use of incentives to encourage people to live a healthy lifestyle.
The council's recommendations and conclusions have been incorporated into a document called Social Value Judgements which describes the principles that NICE and its advisory bodies should use when making decisions about the clinical and cost effectiveness of interventions.

Boise State is back on ESPN tonight in the first chapter of its new relationship with the network. ESPN controls the TV rights to all Bronco home games now, and the new era begins with an early Mountain West intra-divisional game against Air Force. This will be the 57th time Boise State has appeared on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. The Broncos have gone 47-9 on the Worldwide Leader since they made their debut with a win over Louisville in the 1999 Humanitarian Bowl. Boise State really started to become a national brand in 2004, when it rode its first top 10 BCS ranking into seven ESPN/ESPN2 appearances.
ESPN viewers across the country will be expecting offense from Boise State. That's mainly what they've seen the past 14 years. Will they get it? If they haven't been following along the past two weeks, they'll be surprised by the Broncos' new up-tempo attack. They'll like it if it'll score lots of points. We'll get a better idea tonight where this offense is. It faced the perfect storm at Washington—a UW defense infused with energy from a crowd exhilirated over the grand re-opening of Husky Stadium. Last week the offense functioned a lot more smoothly, helped by a Tennessee-Martin unit that silver-plattered a few things. Tonight it's a conference game against a smart defense.
Tiki Barber said last week on CBS SportsRadio (and KTIK), "I've said this for years—it's more on the wide receivers to get open than on a quarterback to read the defense." Boise State's wide receivers did a much better job of creating space against Tennessee-Martin, and Joe Southwick fit a couple deep throws in there, including the 54-yard touchdown to Aaron Burks. He says he adjusts his touch on the bombs depending on who he's throwing to. "You've got to 'KYP'—know your personnel," said Southwick. "Everybody has a little something different about him." It looked like a more traditional Boise State attack. "Not a whole lot has changed," Southwick maintained. "We still have everything there. It's just simplified in the way we teach it. It think what we're doing from a teaching standpoint is going to bring everyone along so much quicker."
Every single completion last week by Boise State went to wideouts. Not a single catch by a tight end or a running back. "A lot of that is just coverage-dictated," said coach Chris Petersen. But the Broncos would like to do the dictating tonight against Air Force. The tight ends are an interesting study. Disaster seems to strike there every year. From 2008-10 (in sequence) there were Chris O'Neill, Richie Brockel and Tommy Gallarda, each with a broken foot. In 2011 it was Dan Paul and his groin. Last year it was Gabe Linehan and his hamstring. This year it's former Capital Eagle Kyle Sosnowski and his knee—for the second straight season. Yet there are four solid tight ends listed on the Boise State depth chart. In order: Linehan, Holden Huff, Connor Peters and Jake Hardee. Linehan and Huff each had a reception at Washington, and that's it.
Utah State plays its home opener against Weber State tomorrow, which is neither here nor there. But Lafe Peavler of the Deseret News is already making his case for Utah State winning the Mountain Division title. Here are Peavler's key points. "Chuckie Keeton is by far the best quarterback in the Mountain Division. The only quarterback in the conference that can compete is Fresno State's Derek Carr. We should see these two (the Aggies and Bulldogs) go toe-to-toe in the inaugural Mountain West Conference Championship Game. Boise State, the once-unstoppable team (in conference play, at least), suddenly looks quite mortal. Plus, the Aggies get to face the Broncos at Romney Stadium instead of on the dreaded Smurf Turf. The bottom line is that Utah State should be favored in every conference game from here on out."
Elsewhere in the Mountain West, A twist has been tossed into Fresno State's game at Colorado tomorrow. The devastating flash-flooding in the areas surrounding Boulder will have an effect on the atmosphere at Folsom Field. The game is still scheduled to be played despite classes being cancelled at CU again for two days in the wake of a seven-inch deluge of rain in a 19-hour period. There'll be a lot of solidarity among the Buffaloes and their fans in support of the flood victims. A little more adversity for the Bulldogs. Plenty of adversity for Nevada, as we might not know until kickoff whether quarterback Cody Fajardo is good to go at Florida State. And how about this: UNLV is favored tomorrow night. The Rebels are picked to win by seven over Central Michigan.
Will Idaho fans see a larger dose of Richard Montgomery in the Kibbie Dome home opener tomorrow? Coach Paul Petrino has hinted at that as the Vandals go into their clash with Northern Illinois as 28-point underdogs. Idaho has to keep the ball out of the hands of the Huskies and star quarterback Jordan Lynch, and a running game will be imperative. Montgomery, the 5-8 true freshman from Jacksonville, FL, tore it up in the Vandals' fall camp scrimmages. But he has just eight carries for 18 yards in the first two games. Idaho's two leading rushers last week at Wyoming were both quarterbacks, Josh McCain with 49 yards and Chad Chalich with 35.
Former Boise State offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin got plenty of face time last night when his Arkansas State Red Wolves hosted Troy on ESPNU. You saw one of Harsin's favorite plays from his Boise State days, the double-pass, set up a second quarrter touchdown that gave ASU a 20-7 lead. But Troy rallied to take the lead with six seconds left in the half. After three more lead changes after the break, Harsin's Red Wolves got a 13-yard touchdown run from Fredi Knighten with just under four minutes left, and the Capital High grad had his first conference victory as a head coach, a 41-34 Sun Belt win.
Despite upending Atlanta last week, New Orleans is favored by only 3½ points at Tampa Bay Sunday. The worry for the Buccaneers is that opponents are going to put everything into stopping Doug Martin—and daring quarterback Josh Freeman to beat them through the air. The Jets used that formula last Sunday in their win over the Bucs, holding Martin to 65 yards on 24 carries. "If I was the defensive coordinator, I'd do that also," Buccaneers right guard Davin Joseph told the Tampa Bay Times. "That's going to be the reality of the next 15 games, they're going to try to stop Doug Martin." It might be tough for the former Boise State star to match the 1,454 rushing yards he had as a rookie.
It was a decent start yesterday for Graham DeLaet at the BMW Championship, the third leg of the FedExCup Playoffs. The former Boise State star, No. 5 in FedExCup standings, shot a one-under 71 on the Conway Farms course in Lake Forest, IL. DeLaet got his rhythm back with an eagle on No. 14 but finished with a bogey on 18. He's six shots behind first round leader Brandt Snedeker. One other DeLaet note: he's been invited to face off with Graeme McDowell a week from Monday in "The Match At Cabot Links," a made-for-TV match play event in Nova Scotia the day after the Tour Championship ends. "The production will capture the essence of match play and take a look into the personalities of the competitors beyond their role as PGA Tour professionals," reads the press release for the event, which will air in Canada later this year.
The Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship wasn't as kind as the first two stages of the Web.com Tour Finals for Troy Merritt yesterday. The former Bronco struggled to a two-over 73 on Ohio State University's Scarlet course in Columbus. Over his first 11 holes, Merritt endured a double-bogey, three bogeys, and just a single birdie. He stopped the bleeding with two birdies toward the end of the round.
This Day In Sports…September 13, 2011:
The NCAA hands down its sanctions on Boise State after charging the university with a "lack of institutional control." The NCAA found 18 major violations over five years in five sports, including football. The most serious penalties fell on the women's tennis program, which was found to have played an ineligible player and given her improper benefits. The football program, which over a multiple-year period had arranged for incoming freshmen to stay with teammates during summer workouts before enrolling, was docked three scholarships per year and three full-contact practices in spring football for each of the three years of probation imposed on the school.
(Tom Scott hosts the Scott Slant segment Sunday nights at 10:30PM on KTVB's Sunday Sports Extra and anchors five sports segments each weekday on 93.1 The Ticket. He also served as color commentator on KTVB's telecasts of Boise State football for 14 seasons.)

Alpinestars Stella Drop Shorts - Women's $124.95
Ride it all.
Like your all-mountain bike, your all-mountain bike clothing should be capable in any aspect of mountain biking. Alpinestars' Women's Stella Drop Shorts prove the theory. A women-specific fit, a freeride-length cut, zippered vents, stretch panels, and a removable chamois liner all add up to an extremely versatile piece of clothing–one ready for any kind of riding in any kind of terrain.
built Stella Drop Shorts with strategically located stretch and vent
panels. On the back and in the crotch, spandex panels stretch for an
unlimited range of motion. This also adds
to the shorts' durability, because it stretches rather than wearing. The
synthetic fabric pulls moisture away from your body to keep you dry and
comfortable, even in the heat of the summer. Alpinestars also designed
Stella Drop shorts with zippered mesh vents on the thighs that push hot,
stale air out and allow fresh, cool air to flow in and around your body.
Stretch ripstop reinforcements at the hem add durability.
removable liner with a chamois absorbs shock and vibration to reduce
fatigue. It also manages moisture to keep you dry and comfortable. The
liner can also be worn with other shorts, so you can transform any of
your other shorts into bike shorts. Alpinestars also included
hook-and-loop waist adjustment straps that allow you to perfectly dial
in your fit, and flat side pockets provide comfortable, convenient,
secure storage while you ride.
Alpinestars Stella Drop Shorts come in Black/Orchid and are available in even sizes 26 to 34.

I was so psyched to see these shorts online because they actually looked pretty sweet and durable. I've been looking for some mountain bike shorts for a while now and everything I've come across has just been awkward. These shorts do look great, but the fit is awkward. They are a little too long and gap at the waist. Bummer. I'll give em a few stars for how they look on the hanger..

Rolen recorded nine hits, including a pair of doubles, in 23 at-bats for a .391 average and 23 total bases. He led the league with a 1.000 slugging percentage for the week.
"He's locked in, man," Albert Pujols said recently. "You throw him anything and he puts a good swing on it. And I'm really happy for him because he was concerned in Spring Training about his swing, but he got it right two weeks before we got out of spring.
Rolen scored six runs and had a .500 on-base percentage while helping the Cardinals, who have scored 49 runs in their last seven games, take over sole possession of first place in the National League Central Division.
"He just continues to play at the highest level," manager Tony La Russa said recently.
Rolen had twice previously won Player of the Week honors. He won it with Philadelphia for his play during the week of Aug. 6-12, 2001, and again with the Cardinals during the 2002 season (Sept. 16-22).
"I'm happy for him because he works hard," Pujols said. "He's one of the guys that deserves the numbers that he's putting up now, so he can get more recognition than he does. He's a better hitter than .280 or .290."
Other nominees included Phillies teammates Placido Polanco (.474, one HR, six RBI) and Jim Thome (.364, four HR, 11 RBI); Rockies teammates Todd Helton (.444, two HR, nine RBI) and Aaron Miles (.438, four 2B, four RBI); Derrek Lee of the Cubs (.433, seven 2B, two HR, nine RBI); Dodgers teammates Juan Encarnación (.364, two HR, two RBI) and Shawn Green (.435, one HR, four RBI) and pitchers Randy Johnson of the Diamondbacks (2-0, 2.08 ERA, 15 SO); Jerome Williams of the Giants (2-0, 2.51 ERA, six SO); Zach Day of the Expos (1-0, 0.00 ERA, one SHO) and Brad Lidge of the Astros (4.1 scoreless innings, nine SO).
Tourneau, the world's largest watch store, will present Rolen a Tourneau luxury Swiss timepiece from its Safari collection.

Heroes and Villains: Nate Hill in New York
Nate Hill, from the series Trophy Scarves (2013).
To the extent that people know his name, Nate Hill is a controversial figure in the internet art world. He gets into bizarre, seemingly one-sided fights with art blogs, sends fake computer viruses to his press contact list, or generally puts people off by relentlessly focusing his web projects on "white women"—the most recent example being Trophy Scarves (2013), a photo series in which Hill, who is biracial, poses wearing a tuxedo while nude white women are slung across his shoulders as if they were recently slain wild animals. Like many, I found myself turned off by some of these projects, but, nonetheless, wanted to know more: the satire was clearly there and he was prolific. I also liked how committed he was to being an artist and how thoroughly he followed his artistic voice, no matter where it took him. In a growing series of conversations with Hill, what impressed me was how consistently every project revolves around the idea of a performative "character" and how committed he is to the idea that his artistic voice is channeled through these different characters. I quickly learned that the majority of these characters aren't even internet-based, but performed in public, on the streets and subway cars of New York. Be it online or in New York City, though, these works share a common motivation to be catalysts for disruption, to interrupt Hill's daily passage through networks of various kinds. While I can't justify everything Hill does, after speaking with him regularly and engrossing myself in the work, I am convinced that he is, in a strange way, a significant artist, as well as an interesting if unacknowledged heir to David Hammons and Andy Kaufman, whose projects Hill cherishes. Because he so frequently invokes the idea of character, I thought that to write about Hill necessitated describing him as a character in a fictional style—a mode of prose that I've been experimenting with recently. What follows is an impressionistic story following a few hours in the life of Nate Hill. It precedes two upcoming projects: a live reenactment of Trophy Scarves and "Lights: Nate Hill and Ann Hirsch," a performance event I am curating at Interstate Projects on November 2nd.
Don Slepian's "Sunflower Geranium" (1983)
Recently, Rhizome featured vector animations by Dov Jacobson that had surfaced at the XFR STN open-access media conservation project. Another standout work from the same videotape (RYO Gallery's 1986 EVTV2 compilation) is the sensorially intense Sunflower Geranium (1983) by Don Slepian.
Peter Van Riper: Between Holography and the Avant-Garde
As an artist, my interface with holography and laser technology is always aimed at achieving a particular art piece that communicates the concerns of all my work. They are chance, change, it-ness, attention, a concern with perception.
-Peter Van Riper, From "On Holography" (1980)[1]
Peter Van Riper, Room Space I (1976-78)
When the independent curator, publisher, writer and art dealer Willoughby Sharp died this past December at the age of 72, the art world lost an iconic figure. Active internationally in the art world since the early 60s, Sharp's name is most often associated with his role as the publisher and co-founder (with Liza Bear) of Avalanche magazine (1970-1976) and for his curation of the seminal art exhibition Earth Art (1969). Avalanche has become something of a cult classic in the art world. Consisting mostly of idiosyncratic editorials by Sharp and Bear and interviews with figures such as Joseph Beuys, Yvonne Rainer, Bruce Nauman, Lawrence Weiner and Vito Acconci, Avalanche helped define the art of an era while also redefining the role of the art magazine. The editors viewed Avalanche as an open space for artists and art, and this vision dictated the overall direction of the magazine. Sharp's seminal Earth Art, held at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York in 1969, was the first major exhibition of land-based sculptural work, and it included artists such as Walter de Maria, Robert Smithson, Hans Haacke, Robert Morris, Richard Long and Dennis Oppenheim (among others). It has also become somewhat mythologized as the exhibition where the young Gordon Matta-Clark, who lived in Ithaca, was hired by Sharp as an assistant and, thus, met the vanguard of the international art scene for the first time.
However, it should be noted that Sharp, himself, was also a performance artist, video artist, satellite artist and computer artist. In fact, his work at the nexus of art and technology is one of the most passionate chapters in his career, but has largely gone unnoticed. The art historian Frank Popper (who met and befriended Sharp in 1968) has offered one of the few accounts of this work in his book From Technological to Virtual Art. According to Popper, the introduction of television to American culture in the late 1940's had a tremendous effect on Sharp. "Almost instantly after DuMont television sets began to dominate living rooms and lives in 1948, television took control of Sharp, and he was transformed from just watching "Uncle Miltie" to being him," writes Popper.
Interview with Kevin Bewersdorf
In this interview, conducted by Rhizome Editorial Fellow Gene McHugh, artist Kevin Bewersdorf discusses his philosophy toward surfing the web, the spiritual dimension of his work and his upcoming show "Monuments to the INFOspirit" at the New York gallery V&A.
Immaterial Incoherence
That's always going to be part of the experience.
The whole idea of immateriality is fishy--be it in the context of Jogging or anything else.
I went overboard on the rhetoric for sure, but the point I'm trying to make is basically the same as yours, Brian, and Jacob, too, I think.
This work is getting somewhere, but the terms its being framed in--immateriality and economic freedom--are tripping it up, shifting the conversation too much in a direction that get tangled in semantics and theoretical navel-gazing.
I wanted to give examples of how sticky that road becomes.
Like, do you guys really want to spend your time debating this material/immaterial stuff?
What's interesting about it is something different, something fresher.
